    Well seeing as you're quoting the definitions, let's clear it up. It would seem that if you wanted "affect" you were using very poor grammar.

    HTH.

    Seeing as we are decending into English Lessons (a subject I freely admit to not being my best or I was that keen on), please explain a circumstance when you would use the words 'affect', 'effect' and why there is a difference.

    A couple of examples for you.

    Mortgage lending may have an effect on house prices.
    The reduction of mortgage lending may affect house prices.

    tbh - if you look at the words long enough and add in the effect that too much browsing has on the brain you may end up affected.
